I suspect that Lorelei is responsible for the attacks on Juan and Diana and that may be why she's startled that Diana would be going to her for help. She may be happy to "protect" Diana from S&H, so she can hold her without appearing to be the villain, and get more information and compliance from her. In this case, S&H were hurting Diana for her own good, and Lorelei would be helping her for her own bad. Diana may have thought of this, though, and intentionally be playing innocent to get closer to Lorelei for investigation.

Breaking somebody's arm "for their own good" seems a little to much like government logic to me. I can see no scenario where that would be or should be permissible. A lethal response to that type of assault would be defensible, if possible.

This is why it isn't about the government. S&H isn't a government agency. There are no government agencies. No matter your system theres going to be assholes with weapons and oppression on their minds.

I know it isn't government. What I said was it is too reminiscent of government logic to my liking and that considering the type of society shown I believe that lethal response is not only appropriate but even laudatory.

In any other comic, a portrait of FDR might pass without comment - in this one, it's just about the last straw.

Wow. I missed that. And Washington, too. If they're side-by-side on that wall, I would presume the rest of the wall, covered up by the narrative, is similarly festooned.Run, Diana. You're in the den of wolves.

Edit. We have limousine liberals today. What do you call the well-heeled in an an-cap society, who thinks things would be just that much better with a central government?space-yacht statists?
